:00:20. > :00:22.Police described the conditions some of their captives had to live

:00:23. > :00:27.They were living in caravans that were dirty.

:00:28. > :00:32.Many had to use the wood as a toilet and some

:01:16. > :01:17.And coming-up in Sportsday on BBC News:

:01:18. > :01:20.We're live at the World Athletics Championships with the latest

:01:21. > :01:22.from the London Stadium, and the rest of the

:01:23. > :01:48.11 people from one family in Lincolnshire have been convicted

:01:49. > :01:52.of involvement with a modern day slavery ring.

:01:53. > :01:55.It follows one of the biggest police investigations of its kind.

:01:56. > :01:59.The Rooney family ran a driveway resurfacing company,

:02:00. > :02:03.and targeted vulnerable homeless people as workers.

:02:04. > :02:06.But their victims were paid little or no wages, and suffered punishment

:02:07. > :02:11.They were also housed in squalid conditions that detectives described

:02:12. > :02:14.Our correspondent Judith Moritz reports

:02:15. > :02:20.Fathers, sons, cousins across the generations,

:02:21. > :02:22.11 members of one family, whose cruelty has

:02:23. > :02:31.The Rooneys were the masters - this is where they kept their slaves.

:02:32. > :02:34.They were forced to live in these caravans in squalor

:02:35. > :02:39.and in filth, conditions not fit for human habitation.

:02:40. > :02:43.Whilst those who controlled them lived in comfort and luxury.

:02:44. > :02:46.The Rooneys had many victims, including this man, whose

:02:47. > :02:50.interview has been re-voiced to protect his identity.

:02:51. > :02:55.I've been on and off the streets for years, drugs and alcohol.

:02:56. > :02:57.I haven't seemed to be able to get settled.

:02:58. > :03:03.Sometimes I have flashbacks, and, you know what I mean,

:03:04. > :03:12.The Rooneys were flashy with their money, going on holidays

:03:13. > :03:16.to Barbados and paying for cosmetic surgery.

:03:17. > :03:21.By stark contrast, the 18 men they kept as slaves lived

:03:22. > :03:26.One man was held for quarter of a century.

:03:27. > :03:32.Patrick Rooney was one of those posing as a respectable

:03:33. > :03:38.But in reality, the family used slave labour, forcing vulnerable men

:03:39. > :03:46.One customer, who has asked not to be identified,

:03:47. > :03:51.They weren't treated as civilised at all.

:03:52. > :03:54.They were treated as if they were subhumans.

:03:55. > :03:59.There was no machine to strip the old tarmac off, nothing.

:04:00. > :04:06.And it was extremely hard work for them, I'll give them that.

:04:07. > :04:09.They didn't have any breaks, anything.

:04:10. > :04:13.All they got was we made them a few cups of tea,

:04:14. > :04:18.They were delighted to get a cup of tea, because I knew

:04:19. > :04:21.and they knew that they weren't going to get anything else.

:04:22. > :04:27.In contrast, the family lived lavishly.

:04:28. > :04:31.This expensive funeral for one relative showing their wealth.

:04:32. > :04:35.In the local Lincolnshire community, it didn't go unnoticed.

:04:36. > :04:38.The people they were preying on were the most vulnerable.

:04:39. > :04:42.They made a lot of money out of them, and the stories

:04:43. > :04:46.I was hearing about big wodges of cash.

:04:47. > :04:49.Bringing the 11 family members to book has taken several years.

:04:50. > :04:53.The police needed to win the trust of victims,

:04:54. > :04:59.The clothes they were wearing were terrible.

:05:00. > :05:01.When we took them to the reception centre, one individual used

:05:02. > :05:05.an entire bottle of shampoo to make himself feel clean.

:05:06. > :05:10.To how they are now, in employment, going to college, they're reunited

:05:11. > :05:15.It's absolutely heart-warming and amazing to see the transformation,

:05:16. > :05:19.They preyed on the homeless and the desperate, offering

:05:20. > :05:28.But there was no dignity in this - only lives exploited and destroyed.

:05:29. > :05:36.President Trump tonight further ramped up the rhetoric

:05:37. > :05:47.Concerning their nuclear and ballistic missile programme, he said

:05:48. > :05:51.Kim Jong-un would truly regret it and regret it fast, if Pyongyang

:05:52. > :05:55.took any military action against America or its allies. Mr Trump had

:05:56. > :06:01.already tweeted that the US was locked and loaded, if North Korea

:06:02. > :06:04.chose to act unwisely. Russia and Germany have called for both sides

:06:05. > :06:08.to calm. From Washington, our correspondent Nick Bryant reports.

:06:09. > :06:11.After fire and fury comes "locked and loaded" -

:06:12. > :06:13.not the title of some Hollywood summer blockbuster,

:06:14. > :06:15.but the words of America's commander in chief,

:06:16. > :06:17.describing his country's state of military readiness.

:06:18. > :06:21.These are the latest pictures of B-1 bombers stationed in Guam,

:06:22. > :06:24.the motto of this squadron - "Fight tonight."

:06:25. > :06:26.President Trump reminded people of that

:06:27. > :06:36.He's deploying social media to fire off warning salvos.

:06:37. > :06:38."Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded,

:06:39. > :06:42.Hopefully, Kim Jong-un will find another path."

:06:43. > :06:46.And again tonight he wrapped up the rhetoric even further with this

:06:47. > :06:50.verbal broadside aimed at the North Korean leader.

:06:51. > :06:53.This man will not get away with what he's doing, believe

:06:54. > :07:01.And if he utters one threat in the form of an overt threat, which,

:07:02. > :07:06.by the way he has been uttering for years and his family have been

:07:07. > :07:08.uttering for years, or if he does anything

:07:09. > :07:12.anyplace else that an American territory

:07:13. > :07:13.or an American ally, he

:07:14. > :07:21.As the government of Japan deployed missile interceptors to guard

:07:22. > :07:25.against North Korean rockets, international leaders essentially

:07:26. > :07:33.I'm firmly convinced that an escalation

:07:34. > :07:37.of rhetoric will not contribute to a solution of this conflict.

:07:38. > :07:39.TRANSLATION: When a fight has nearly broken out,

:07:40. > :07:41.the first step away from that dangerous threshold should

:07:42. > :07:47.be taken by the side that is stronger and smarter.

:07:48. > :07:51.Amidst this verbal brinkmanship, it's emerged the Trump

:07:52. > :07:53.administration has been secretly talking to North Korea

:07:54. > :07:58.about Americans in prison there, and deteriorating relations.

:07:59. > :08:02.The news came as America's Defence Secretary emphasised diplomacy.

:08:03. > :08:06.You can see the American effort is diplomatically led,

:08:07. > :08:11.it has diplomatic traction, it is gaining diplomatic results.

:08:12. > :08:14.And I want to stay right there, right now.

:08:15. > :08:17.The tragedy of war is well enough known.

:08:18. > :08:19.It doesn't need another characterisation beyond the fact

:08:20. > :08:25.Holiday-makers on Guam, the island North Korea has

:08:26. > :08:29.threatened with missiles, still seem unfazed.

:08:30. > :08:35.It would take just 14 minutes for a North Korean missile to reach them.

:08:36. > :08:37.But amongst the beach reading this morning,

:08:38. > :08:39.a fact sheet from the Guam government, warning not

:08:40. > :08:50.Nick, is there a strategy underpinning President Trump's tough

:08:51. > :08:54.rhetoric? I think this week we've seen a pattern. I'm not sure you can

:08:55. > :09:00.describe it as a deliberate strategy. It's this. You get these

:09:01. > :09:05.incendiary warnings from Donald Trump, using alliterative language.

:09:06. > :09:09.This that has been improvisational at times and has taken his A by

:09:10. > :09:14.surprise at times. From other members of this administration you

:09:15. > :09:20.have seen more measured language, language that focuses on diplomacy.

:09:21. > :09:25.It's worth pointing out at this very moment Donald Trump is meeting his

:09:26. > :09:28.top two diplomats, his US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and his UN

:09:29. > :09:32.ambassador Nikki Haley. There's been an element of good cop, bad cop.

:09:33. > :09:36.It's also reminded some people of what President Richard Nixon used to

:09:37. > :09:41.call the madman theory. New plant in the mind of your adversary the

:09:42. > :09:45.notion that you are unpredictable, that you are volatile, that you are

:09:46. > :09:49.willing to do anything, that you are willing to take the military option,

:09:50. > :09:53.in order to frighten them in order to make them back down. Now, there

:09:54. > :09:58.are some mainstream Republicans who think that makes sense. But there

:09:59. > :10:01.are others who think that is very dangerous, because one

:10:02. > :10:07.miscalculation, one mistake, one act of misplaced bravado, and you could

:10:08. > :10:10.have a war. Nick Bryant, thank you, at the White House.

:10:11. > :10:12.The steel company Tata has been given the go-ahead

:10:13. > :10:15.to separate its UK pension scheme from the rest of the business,

:10:16. > :10:17.which will help tens of thousands of the firm's workers.

:10:18. > :10:19.Staff voted earlier this year to accept less generous pensions,

:10:20. > :10:22.in return for investment to secure jobs.

:10:23. > :10:25.The move is expected to clear the way for a possible merger

:10:26. > :10:31.Our correspondent Wyre Davies reports now from Port Talbot.

:10:32. > :10:34.Tata Steel had warned for years that its UK business was under

:10:35. > :10:39.threat and it wanted to radically reduce pension benefits to workers

:10:40. > :10:43.or face the prospect of having to close it Port Talbot plant.

:10:44. > :10:46.For months, employees who stood to lose thousands of pounds

:10:47. > :10:48.from their retirement plans, have been meeting to

:10:49. > :10:54.All of a sudden you're coming to the end of your working life,

:10:55. > :10:57.you have two years left and you have to work another seven years

:10:58. > :10:59.in order to get what you've worked your entire life

:11:00. > :11:03.for without any penalties, and they feel cheated.

:11:04. > :11:10.You think you're going to be secure when you're 60, 65,

:11:11. > :11:13.and now they've taken that away from you.

:11:14. > :11:16.The ?15 billion British Steel pension scheme is one

:11:17. > :11:23.Around 130,000 members will be affected and the new plan would see

:11:24. > :11:25.current owners Tata paying ?550 million into the

:11:26. > :11:34.The scheme will also get a stake of one third of Tata's UK business

:11:35. > :11:42.Workers who sign up to today's proposal will have

:11:43. > :11:47.Other options include transferring into a personal pension scheme.

:11:48. > :11:50.Or they can stay with the old British Steel

:11:51. > :11:53.scheme, which is backed by the Pension Protection Fund,

:11:54. > :11:56.and that's the really controversial part, because that's normally only

:11:57. > :12:00.available to companies that have gone out of business.

:12:01. > :12:03.The Pension Protection Fund is there to protect the members,

:12:04. > :12:06.not the companies themselves, so I think the issue that everyone

:12:07. > :12:11.has is why should they be allowed to join the PPF,

:12:12. > :12:15.because the liability is with Tata Steel worldwide,

:12:16. > :12:18.which has plenty of cash, as we know.

:12:19. > :12:21.Although this agreement does protect workers' pension plans,

:12:22. > :12:23.it also makes the company, Tata Steel, much more attractive

:12:24. > :12:31.And with the German steel giant ThyssenKrupp waiting in the wings,

:12:32. > :12:34.there will be renewed concerns about future job losses and even

:12:35. > :12:40.closures at some UK steel plants, including Port Talbot.

:12:41. > :12:42.The German firm says it wants to consolidate

:12:43. > :12:44.European steel-making, but industry experts say Port Talbot

:12:45. > :12:51.I think the immediate future for workers in Port Talbot

:12:52. > :12:56.Port Talbot has restored its competitiveness.

:12:57. > :13:00.It's been helped by the exchange rate of the pound

:13:01. > :13:06.Port Talbot has been synonymous with steel-making for 70 years,

:13:07. > :13:09.and although only one fifth of the once 20,000 strong

:13:10. > :13:12.workforce still work here, today's deal on pensions should

:13:13. > :13:25.A brief look at some of the day's other news stories.

:13:26. > :13:28.A man has been told he'll serve at least 20 years in prison

:13:29. > :13:30.for murdering his brother, and attempting to murder

:13:31. > :13:45.his brother's girlfriend on New Year's day.

:13:46. > :13:51.Blair Logan, who's 27, admitted killing Cameron Logan.

:13:52. > :13:53.Nearly 20 countries have now reported finding eggs

:13:54. > :13:55.contaminated with the pesticide Fipronil, which can damage

:13:56. > :13:59.Four UK supermarkets have removed egg products from their shelves,

:14:00. > :14:04.although it is only dangerous in high doses.

:14:05. > :14:11.Lawyers representing a man - arrested in relation

:14:12. > :14:13.to the Putney Bridge jogger investigation - have categorically

:14:14. > :14:15.denied that he was involved in the incident.

:14:16. > :14:18.Eric Bellquist was detained by police trying to find a man

:14:19. > :14:20.who pushed a woman in front of a bus.

:14:21. > :14:23.He says he can prove that he was in America at the time.

:14:24. > :14:26.The results of the Kenyan presidential election have

:14:27. > :14:31.just been announced, with the incumbent

:14:32. > :14:36.President Kenyatta taking 54% of the vote,

:14:37. > :14:38.and the main opposition candidate Raila Odinga winning 44%.

:14:39. > :14:40.The President's critics say the election was rigged,

:14:41. > :14:42.but as our Africa correspondent Alastair Leithead reports,

:14:43. > :14:47.monitors say the poll was largely free and fair.

:14:48. > :14:52.Uhuru Kenyatta's supporters knew this was coming.

:14:53. > :14:54.Preliminary results had given their man an unassailable lead.

:14:55. > :14:57.But first there was an electoral process to follow -

:14:58. > :15:04.The result from every county had to be read out,

:15:05. > :15:09.before the moment the nation had waiting for.

:15:10. > :15:17.I wish to declare Uhuru Kenyatta as President-elect.

:15:18. > :15:22.After three days of holding their breath, Kenyans have now

:15:23. > :15:25.had confirmation that Uhuru Kenyatta will have a second term in office

:15:26. > :15:29.The question now is how the opposition will react in defeat,

:15:30. > :15:39.Will they challenge it in the courts?

:15:40. > :15:46.Before the results were even released the opposition alliance

:15:47. > :15:47.had walked out, repeating allegations

:15:48. > :15:50.I think this has been an entire charade.

:15:51. > :15:54.They had run a parallel counting centre and claimed discrepancies.

:15:55. > :15:59.That the election commission commuter was hacked,

:16:00. > :16:06.President Uhuru Kenyatta stepped up to acknowledge his victory

:16:07. > :16:08.and spoke about unity, ten years on from the terrible

:16:09. > :16:20.I extend the hand of partnership, knowing fully well that this country

:16:21. > :16:25.needs all of us pulling together in order for us to succeed.

:16:26. > :16:27.These were the scenes in the stronghold of the losing

:16:28. > :16:29.candidate Raila Odinga in western Kenya earlier in the day.

:16:30. > :16:36.There have already been a few clashes in the slums of Nairobi.

:16:37. > :16:40.The fear is these ugly, if isolated protests could spread

:16:41. > :16:42.if the opposition decides to call its people

:16:43. > :16:51.Tonight Kenya is still holding its breath.

:16:52. > :16:53.Three men have been jailed, for turning an underground

:16:54. > :16:55.nuclear bunker designed for the Army into the "largest cannabis

:16:56. > :16:58.factory to be found in the south of England".

:16:59. > :17:00.One received eight years, the other two were sentenced to five.

:17:01. > :17:02.All three admitted conspiracy to produce drugs, after several

:17:03. > :17:06.thousand cannabis plants with an estimated street value

:17:07. > :17:15.Hidden beneath the wooded hills of Wiltshire,

:17:16. > :17:19.even today, the bunker remains a secretive, subterranean world.

:17:20. > :17:24.Its old antenna and air vents the only sign of its existence.

:17:25. > :17:31.But five metres below ground this Cold War sanctuary was transformed

:17:32. > :17:45.This was where 4000 cannabis plants were found, spread over two floors.

:17:46. > :17:47.The men behind it were Martin Fillery, Plamen Nguyen,

:17:48. > :17:50.and Ross Winter, who were jailed today, for admitting conspiracy

:17:51. > :17:57.Police say using the nuclear bunker, once owned by the Ministry

:17:58. > :17:59.of Defence, meant the gang could exploit its

:18:00. > :18:06.This was a highly organised operation, and of course the nuclear

:18:07. > :18:08.bunker provided that level of security and covertness

:18:09. > :18:18.A secret headquarters for regional government

:18:19. > :18:23.150 officials could survive here for a month.

:18:24. > :18:36.They found everything from a big-screen TV, to a fish tank.

:18:37. > :18:39.And all with the home comforts of an underground world

:18:40. > :18:44.where the underworld could go to ground.

:18:45. > :18:46.The gang even bypassed the mains meter, ripping-off ?650,000

:18:47. > :18:57.All to keep the cannabis growing and drying around the clock.

:18:58. > :19:00.In fact, they thought this facility would provide them with the perfect

:19:01. > :19:05.Well, first of all you can't see it from the road.

:19:06. > :19:10.And the complex itself can be locked up.

:19:11. > :19:15.They managed to keep this place a secret for three years.

:19:16. > :19:18.It was only when the gang inadvertently opened the doors

:19:19. > :19:21.the police were able to finally get in and reveal the industrial scale

:19:22. > :19:29.One now consigned, like its Cold War setting, to history.

:19:30. > :19:36.Duncan Kennedy, BBC News, at Chilmark, in Wiltshire.

:19:37. > :19:40.The Premier League is back, with Arsenal hosting Leicester City

:19:41. > :19:45.at the Emirates Stadium tonight, in a seven goal thriller.

:19:46. > :19:51.Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss was watching.

:19:52. > :19:57.It is back on Friday, an unprecedented start to the Premier

:19:58. > :20:02.League season, but for the fans, that familiar question, could this

:20:03. > :20:08.be their year? Amid the summer spending splurge, Arsenal splashed

:20:09. > :20:13.out 50 million this man, AlexLacazette, and it took 94

:20:14. > :20:22.seconds to show why. That is what you call making and impact. A dream

:20:23. > :20:27.start for him and the hosts -- Alexandre Lacazette. Leicester hit

:20:28. > :20:31.back. Shinji Okazaki with the equaliser as Arsenal's old frailties

:20:32. > :20:36.returned to haunt them. Soon the foxes were in front, Jamie Vardy

:20:37. > :20:42.lashing at home. On the stroke of half-time, Danny Welbeck levelled it

:20:43. > :20:48.up. Four goals in 45 minutes. Welcome back. In the second half

:20:49. > :20:54.Arsenal delivered, Vardy did not. 3-2, four Arsene Wenger the summer

:20:55. > :20:57.break a distant memory. But then the craziest of comebacks. Aaron

:20:58. > :21:02.Ramsey's flawless finish gave the Gunners hope. Moments later Olivier

:21:03. > :21:07.Giroud created an extraordinary turnaround. 4-3 to Arsenal. The rest

:21:08. > :21:13.of the season has some act to follow. Yes, as curtain raisers

:21:14. > :21:21.though, that was something pretty special. A chaotic clash. Arsenal

:21:22. > :21:25.fans for one night at least are on top of the Premier League table.

:21:26. > :21:28.Thank you. And the Swiss at the Emirates.

:21:29. > :21:30.With just two full days left of the World Athletics Championships

:21:31. > :21:33.in London, British athletes narrowly missed out on another medal tonight,

:21:34. > :21:35.with Dina Asher-Smith finishing fourth in the 200m.

:21:36. > :21:37.It means Sir Mo Farah's gold is the sole medal

:21:38. > :21:42.As Natalie Pirks reports, UK Sport's target of between

:21:43. > :21:54.Instead, the enduring images of these championships

:21:55. > :22:00.from a British perspective, have been of tears and heartbreak.

:22:01. > :22:03.You are measured in medals and Mo may end up being our only gold

:22:04. > :22:06.medallist, maybe double gold medallist, but he is leaving

:22:07. > :22:12.Five years on from London, when you think about legacy,

:22:13. > :22:20.you'd have to say probably it's not great.

:22:21. > :22:26.A spin and heave. The Hammer does not look the most sophisticated of

:22:27. > :22:30.disciplines but Nick Miller is pretty good at it. His third throw

:22:31. > :22:35.took him briefly into silver medal contention. But his final throw went

:22:36. > :22:43.nowhere. That face of dejection all too familiar. And there was more

:22:44. > :22:47.disappointment to come. This long jump did not quite go to plan

:22:48. > :22:53.tonight. This was all she could manage. So that is that, another

:22:54. > :22:55.medal opportunity gone for Great Britain. It seems they cannot get

:22:56. > :23:02.the luck they need right now. Last night, Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake

:23:03. > :23:08.was the latest Briton to come forth in his event,

:23:09. > :23:11.making up a club of the oh so close. Just inches separated

:23:12. > :23:16.the likes of Kyle Langford Nevertheless, it now means UK

:23:17. > :23:21.Sport's target of six to eight Especially with Greg

:23:22. > :23:23.Rutherford injured. It's very, very difficult

:23:24. > :23:25.to win medals in athletics Now, other sports, and especially

:23:26. > :23:31.with Olympic sports that win a lot of gold medals,

:23:32. > :23:34.it doesn't take anything away from their achievements,

:23:35. > :23:36.but there's not as many people or countries that participate,

:23:37. > :23:38.so this is arguably the hardest sport in the world to win

:23:39. > :23:52.major titles in. Dina Asher-Smith carried Jessica

:23:53. > :23:59.Ennis-Hill's it at the London Olympics. Tonight she carried the

:24:00. > :24:07.crowd's hopes. She broke her foot in February and only started running

:24:08. > :24:12.again in June. And Dina Asher-Smith four. Of course, it was for yet

:24:13. > :24:19.again, but this was quite an achievement. We have had loads of

:24:20. > :24:22.fourth that at same time, loads of those have been people who are so

:24:23. > :24:28.young with a decade in them. They may not have got a medal today but

:24:29. > :24:34.they will be the ones to watch in championships to come. Experiences

:24:35. > :24:37.like this will eventually bring the reward she deserves.

:24:38. > :24:43.Our sports editor Dan Roan is at the stadium for us tonight.

:24:44. > :24:52.Close but no cigars. That is right. I think it inevitable but when a

:24:53. > :24:57.body like UK athletics is in receipt of public money from UK sport and

:24:58. > :25:00.yet only has one medal from eight days of home championships to show

:25:01. > :25:06.for it, there will be some kind of inquest. Having said that, British

:25:07. > :25:09.Athletics are putting a positive spin on this. There have been plenty

:25:10. > :25:14.of fourth place finishes and top eight finishes from some very

:25:15. > :25:18.promising athletes. And with the long-term target of the 2020 Tokyo

:25:19. > :25:23.Olympics that bodes well. And it could improve with the relay and so

:25:24. > :25:35.Mo Farah in the final days. There is a growing fear that success in

:25:36. > :25:38.recent games may have papered over some cracks when it comes to the

:25:39. > :25:40.coaching structure in the sport domestically, and an over defendants

:25:41. > :25:42.on the likes of Sir Mo Farah, Jessica Ennis-Hill and Greg

:25:43. > :25:45.Rutherford may be overexposed. There could be consequences of the funding

:25:46. > :25:48.cut if it stays like this. If it is tough now, it will only get tougher

:25:49. > :25:52.when the band Russian team are back. Indeed, thank you.

:25:53. > :25:54.Now on BBC One, it's time for the news where you are.
